Description
The Tanit S/43 is a pendant light with a wide, faceted dome of beige cotton thread, wound in fine horizontal lines over a slim frame and hung from a matt black stem and canopy. The shade is 43cm across and 23cm tall, and light filters through the threads so the whole dome glows softly. It uses a 14W integrated LED giving 490 lumens, so there is no bulb to buy or change. Its 2700K colour temperature is a warm white, and a CRI of 90 keeps wood, food and fabrics looking true to colour. It is dimmable (TRIAC), so with a compatible dimmer you can bring it right down for a quieter evening.
We would hang it above a dining table, where it spreads a gentle pool of warm light across the top without crowding the room, or in a living room over a coffee table or a favourite chair. Over a longer table, a pair or a row of them works well. The drop runs from 58cm to 200cm, so it suits a standard ceiling as well as a tall one, with a 47cm stem above the shade. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only.
It is made from aluminium, iron and cotton: the cotton forms the beige thread shade, and the metal parts are in matt black, which gives a crisp outline against a pale ceiling. The design is by Gonzalo Milà. The light runs on 230V mains and is wired in, so it is a fitting for a qualified electrician to install, and the canopy is a neat 12cm across and 5cm deep on the ceiling. Before you order, measure from ceiling to table and allow for the shortest drop of 58cm, so the shade sits where you want it.
